A Cambodian man stepped up to help a team of Thai snake catchers wrangle a python using what he claimed to be an ancient Cambodian technique to remove a python from under the bonnet of a car

In the early hours of Wednesday morning rescue workers in Samut Prakarn were called by security guards to deal with a large python at the Thai Central Chemical Company after security guards spotted the sneak serpent hiding in one of the company’s pickup trucks.

Rescue workers toiled with the snake for hours after it coiled itself tightly around the trucks engine before a Cambodian man only identified as “Rahit” came to the rescue workers aid with his unusual methods.

He claimed that it was an ancient Cambodian secret to bite a snake several times on the tail to make it let go of what it was wrapped around.

Rahit’s methods bizarre as they seem appeared to work as a few bites later the large python was pulled from the pickup.

But Rahit wasn’t finished there he even popped the snake which attempted to slither away into a sack for the rescue workers ready to be released back into the wild.

Even though Rahit’s tail biting method appeared to work we strongly recommend people leave catching snakes to the professionals.
